Reply #21: Actually, Brits have.. but it's unlikely that it makes much impact in America

[LeftishBrit]

A year or so ago, McCain visited the UK, and he and Cameron (our Tory leader) expressed a lot of enthusiasm about each other. Closer to the election, Brown said something that sounded like an endorsement of Obama, and, more unexpectedly, so did Boris Johnson, the Tory Mayor of London.

Actually commenting in this way on American elections is a very recent development, though there have been very close relationships between British and American leaders in the past, notably Maggie 'n Ronnie, not to mention Bush 'n Tony.

I doubt that such comments have much influence on American voters, however.
